Put Planning In It's PlaceNovember 1, 2013“Life is what happens,” the old quote goes, “when you are busy making other plans.” As valuable as planning can be, overdoing it saps all the joy and spontaneity from life.

Perception is RealityOctober 4, 2013Perception is reality: you see what you expect to see based on the perspective and focus you choose to bring to each moment.

Losing a job could be “bad” or...Click here to read more

You Matter!August 30, 2013Have you ever felt that you had nothing to offer—that you don’t have any special gifts or talents?

It’s Always Time for Creativity!August 23, 2013by Guest Blogger, Kathy Pennell Cooperman of KC Leadership Consulting LLC.

We have all the time we need for the things that matter. Click here to read more

Oh, Say Can You See?April 19, 2013When you’re faced with a challenge, it’s easy to stop yourself by saying “but I don’t see how I can get all the way to my goal!” The good news is you don’t have to be able to see all the way to your goal.

Creating JoyApril 5, 2013With apologies to Denis Waitley, I substituted the word “JOY” for “Happiness” in his inspirational quote to the left. Because for me, that’s the experience he was describing.

JOY on the other hand is a constant condition, whatever my circumstances. JOY flows from within. Whatever my circumstances, I know...Click here to read more

Everything's an OpportunityMarch 29, 2013At each stage in life, challenges arise. And each new challenge brings a new lesson.

What Are You Waiting For?March 8, 2013Do you have things you’ve filed away in the “maybe someday” pile? Do some of them come to mind again and again but you tell yourself you just don’t have the time, money or space in your life to make them a reality?

When you fall in love with yourself,everything else finally falls into place,with beauty, power, and grace.When you release the illusion of fearand embrace the truth of love,you will know in each momentwho you are and Whose you are.That, my dear friends,is more than enough. It is everything.―Deborah Jane Wells
